Transparent taskbar

[Coeluh]

I'm sure this request has been around some times, but I want to add something different. The taskbar has a preconfigured transparency (e.g. 40%). But when you hover over it it fades in a preconfigured time (e.g. 100 ms) to a preconfigured other transparency value (e.g. 80%).

Does this kind of thing exist already?

Jay, I modded it. It works.
The effect I got is not as cool as I thought it would look.

hmmmm speaking of taskbars, when I make a home-made taskbar out of a desktop folder it's like claw at it with the mouse until you get it to undock and you can size it.  Is there a windows message you can send it to switch to resizable mode?  Sometimes you can claw at that thing for minutes without getting it.  Really annoying.
